EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Brussels, 19.12.2018 C(2018) 9170 final

PUBLIC VERSION

To the notifying parties :

Dear Sir or Madam,

1.On 26 November 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 by which Oxford Jersey Holding Company Limited (‘Oxford’, Jersey), DV4 Limited (‘DV4’, British Virgin Islands), Stichting Depositary APG Strategic Real Estate Pool (‘APG’, the Netherlands) and Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company Q.P.S.C. (‘QDREIC’, Qatar) acquire within the meaning of Articles 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control over an existing joint venture that owns, develops, manages and offers for rent residential real estate at the Middlewood Locks site in Manchester (United Kingdom). The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

-- for DV4: a real estate investment fund;

-- for APG: a depositary for an investment fund whose ultimate beneficial owner is Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP (‘ABP’), a pension administration organisation that specialises in the field of collective pensions in the public sector;

-- for Oxford: part of the wider OMERS Administration Corporation (‘OMERS’) Group. OMERS is the administrator of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System Primary Pension Plan and trustee of the pension funds. OMERS manages a diversified global portfolio of stocks and bonds as well as real estate, private equity and infrastructure investments;

-- for QDREIC: a real estate investment and development company, a wholly owned entity of the Qatar Investment Authority (‘QIA’) of the State of Qatar.

3.After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of paragraph 5(c) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.

4.For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.

For the Commission
